the China trade will be equal to the
best ever turned out at Clyde, and

support in an equalization of grain
standards in Manitoba and Minnesota
At present the former are higher with
out any pecuniary advantage.

Now you have got the bad luck
about things so far, | will tell you the
rest. In the first place if these darned
fools had waited il day or two and let
me haye my way | would haye had
$500 cash out of the four claims, as |
had things pretty near fixed through
Thayer with some strangers in town.
In the second place, | am sorry to
tell you that the three forties on the
heights were entered just seven days
before you went away or | could have
got 500 from three different parties
for the minutes.
Now another very important thing
| have to tell you is this. Thayer
tells me that all the claims in these
iron townships are to be contested
and cancelled. He said to tell you
he is standing in with the special
agent and if you ere willing to give
up what you know about things he
says we can make forty thousand dol
lars apiece. He wants you to come
down as soon as you can We three
Will get together and talk the matter
over.
| don't suppose there is any special
hurry now though, as he is going to
Washington on Monday. Don't say
anything about this to any one but
think the matter over and write before
you 90 out and let me know what you
think of it and what to tell Thayer.
There is 10 money to be made ex-
cept we get into some sort of ring.
Joe Bristow's contest is over and |
have got the twenty-five bills.
Things are not as lively as they
ought TO be according TO the amount
of men. | wish | was through with
the -- darn business. | think it is
